Topic: Cup of tea (Read 1134 times)

One day my mother was out and my dad was in charge of me. I was maybe 2 1/2 years old and had just recovered from an accident.

Someone had given me a little 'tea set' as a get-well gift and it was one of my favorite toys. Daddy was in the living room engrossed in the evening news when I brought Daddy a little cup of 'tea', which was just water.

After several cups of tea and lots of praise for such yummy tea, my Mom came home.. My Dad made her wait in the living room to watch me bring him a cup of tea, because it was 'just the cutest thing!' My Mom waited, and sure enough, here I come down the hall with a cup of tea for Daddy and she watches him drink it up.

Then she says, (as only a mother would know... :) 'Did it ever occur to you that the only place she can reach to get water is the toilet?

Irwin when I was reading this I thought you were telling a story from your past and I was thinking Irwin doesn't strike me as the type of guy to have played with a tea set :-DWasn't till the end till I realized it wasn't a story

He kept coming inside for cups of water. When his mom asked why, he was trying to put out the fire/smoke coming out of the house. A little investigation and she discovered that the dryer was running and he thought that the exhaust was smoke, so he was pouring water into the dryer vent! She thought it was funny and cleaned up a big puddle of water inside next to the clothes dryer :roll:.

Of course, since it was funny he tried it again....that time it wasn't so funny....
